If you have a lot of art: paintings, drawings etc. HOW do you enjoy them?
For a long time I couldn't afford much art. So I always framed it right away and hung it up. But, the walls are a little crowded now. Considering a system where I rotate the art every half year? Seasonally? I would also have a designated closet spot for art that isn't hanging.
Anyone do this?
If you must know, yes it's almost all ants. But you knew that part.
@futurebirdmyrmepropagandist as someone whose wife is a working artist, thank you for your service. I am under the impression that collecting enthusiastically like this is vanishingly rare.
Boring advice: Investing in flat files for works on paper, renting climate controlled storage for paintings & sculpture.
Even better: lending your works out to arts orgs, showing your collection in exhibitions, and treating it like a cohesive entity with a website and with proper metadata.
